It's usually used as a term for a small, backwoods, in the middle of nowhere place. So when Alexis suggested I name the dipping sauce for these oven roasted fries "Podunk Sauce" I looked at her like she was crazy.

But she clarified, "You know, you 'dunk' your 'po'-tatoes in the sauce."

Okay, she was right, cute name. But don't tell her that, she'll be impossible to live with.

As far as the potatoes, this is a basic way we do our roasted potatoes. Sometime we quarter them, sometimes we do them as fries like this. The herb mix I used tonight was half fresh thyme and half fresh oregano.

Hi Chris! I'm trying to be "back" and it looks like it's just in time! This sounds so delicious I can just taste them. And Alexis' sauce name is hilarious. I happen to have a big bag of garden potatoes that need to be cooked . . .

Alexis is right, cute name :) I love me some potatoes, and sauce. Yay, now I've got a new sauce to make. I never get tired to sauce recipes. Oh and thanks for the lesson on how to cut potatoes into wedges... it seems like the simplest thing but why do I always mess them up somehow?! lol

I've come to the conclusion that cholula hot sauce makes just about everything mind-blowingly delicious. I'm also fairly certain I could drink that sauce with a straw. I'll be trying it with sweet potato fries, hear you me.

Roasted fries are pretty much the only way we do fries anymore. We make so many different sauces depending on what else we're serving but I can't wait to surpise your little friends with your Podunk sauce. Alexis picked a fantastic name!

I'm just passing by and thought id say hello. We will be receiving some snow this weekend in Pennsylvania, and the leaves are just about at their peek colors. I hope everyone has a very nice weekend. Richard from Amish Stories.
